Chapter 762: Leng Xuan and Others Arriving in the Capital

Back at Seal Palace.

Lu Chengzhou immediately went looking for every box of cigarettes he had in his drawers and asked Lu Yī and Lu Qi who lived next door to take them away.

Gu Mang watched the scene as she came out of the bathroom.

Lu Yī and Lu Qi were hugging boxes of cigarettes as they greeted her politely. “Ms. Gu.”

Gu Mang hummed in acknowledgment and pressed the towel to her head.

The two of them turned to Lu Chengzhou. “Young Master Lu, we’ll get going now.”

Lu Chengzhou nodded. The two turned around and walked out, closing the door behind them. Once the door was closed, Lu Yī and Lu Qi looked at each other by the door. From their expressions they were dazed.

Lu Yī frowned. “Why is our master quitting smoking?”

Lu Qi shook his head. “If you don’t know, how would I know?”

Lu Yī looked at the boxes of cigarettes in their arms. “I can’t tell. It must not be because of Ms. Gu.”

Lu Qi was confused. “Why not?”

“Ms. Gu smokes too.” Lu Yī rolled his eyes and started walking to the unit next door. “You have a brain for a reason!”

Lu Qi almost could not resist kicking his butt. “Then why do you think our master is quitting smoking? He can’t possibly be doing it to prepare for pregnancy. Ms. Gu is still young.”

Lu Yī narrowed his eyes and looked at him, remaining silent. At that moment, he suddenly felt like he was not as smart as Lu Qi. After all, their master had successfully wooed Ms. Gu when she was only 18 years old. If he wanted to prepare for a baby now, it was not entirely impossible.

…

Gu Mang crossed her arms before her chest and looked at him with an ambiguous smile. “You’re really quitting smoking?”

“As you can see, there aren’t any cigarettes left in the house.” Lu Chengzhou walked over, put his arm around her shoulders, and walked toward the bedroom. He whispered, “I’ll start eating sweets with you starting tomorrow.”

Gu Mang said, “Tsk, just because you heard the bosses of the street food stall say that they are preparing for pregnancy?”

Lu Chengzhou did not expect her to be so blunt. After one moment of silence, he forced out a reply. “No.”

Gu Mang licked her lips and smiled. “Oh.”

Lu Chengzhou said seriously, “Smoking is not good for your health.”

Still smiling, Gu Mang narrowed her eyes. “You are really good at bullsh*tting.”

Lu Chengzhou cleared his throat and looked at her. “Promise me that we are quitting smoking together.”

Gu Mang remained silent.

Lu Chengzhou picked up a glass of water that was placed on the bedside table and passed it to her. “I’m going to shower. You can play games for a while. Once I come out, I will help you blow dry your hair.”

She lifted an eyebrow at that. Lu Chengzhou caressed her cheek before heading to the bathroom. Looking at his back, Gu Mang smiled.

Soon, she shifted her attention away and took a sip of water. She placed the cup on the table and got her phone.

Yun Ling had sent her the Ye family’s information in the afternoon. She had not had the time to see it.

The current head of the Ye family was Ye Junci. She was the only matriarch among the four big families. She was also the reason why the Ye family had become so powerful on Jijing Island.

Ye Junci graduated from the Jijing Special Institute at the age of 16. She was the most outstanding person among her generation. After graduation, she shadowed the family elder for two years. She managed the Ye family in an orderly manner and even secured a few big business deals.

There was a three year gap in history starting from her eighteenth birthday but she resurfaced at age twenty two. She returned to the Ye family and took control of the family’s internal and external issues until today.

Gu Mang raised her eyebrows slightly.

Yun Ling could not possibly have given her false information. If she did not provide any information, that meant that the information could not be found.

The three year gap made Gu Mang suspicious.

Gu Mang tapped on the side of her phone as she looked through the information, deep in thought. Just then, her phone buzzed. Yun Ling had sent her a message.

[Master, the family head of the Ye family, Ye Junci, is in the capital. Tonight, two more people are arriving in the capital. Lu Zhan is going to receive them personally. They will be fully guarded throughout the journey. One of them is Bi Hai, the grand pianist. The other is Leng Xuan. I’m afraid I don’t have anything on him besides his name.]
